Tails OS: Secure OS to Stay Anonymous

Tails OS is a live Linux-based operating system that you can boot into and use on any computer.

This free OS can hide who and where you are. It’s optimized for anonymity, doesn’t leave any traces behind, and comes with a collection of privacy and encryption tools.

If you are worried about your privacy on the internet, then you must start using this OS as famous NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden prefers it.

The primary aim of this OS is to protect your privacy and help you to surf the web anonymously.

Tails is an acronym for ” The Amnesic Incognito Live System”. You can run this OS from a DVD, USB memory stick, or SD card.

Using Tails OS, you can cruise the sea called the internet anonymously while safeguarding your Privacy and deceive or thwart censorship imposed by the government.

The main idea of using this operating system is to browse the web like a boss uses any computer without leaving any traces and stop the snooper from spying on you.

The OS based on the Debian 9 (Stretch) Linux operating system also features built-in encrypted emails and chat with private messaging.

This secure OS supports built-in file encryption as well. Using this file encryption feature, you can save your documents to a pen drive and they’ll automatically be encrypted.

So by using Tails OS, you can encrypt your files, emails, and instant messaging chats to make sure no one else reads them.

It doesn’t end here as this secure OS is pre-loaded with good software such as GIMP (image editor), Audacity (sound editor), Inkscape (drawing application), LibreOffice (office suite), and more, so you can do all kinds of tasks.

For browsing the web, it provides Iceweasel, a Firefox-based browser that uses the Tor network for routing connections.

Tor is an open network that bounces your communication around a distributed network of global relays.

For anonymity on the web, most users prefer Tor. It lets you access blocked sites, hides your physical location, and prevents others from watching over your Internet connection.

Tails OS preserves your privacy and anonymity, you have access to cryptographic tools to encrypt, circumvent censorship and use the Internet anonymously without leaving any trace on your computer.
